USG Distribution Letter

Thursday, 21 November 2024 Smart US Large Growth ETF Distribution - November 2024 The Smart US Large Growth ETF (USG) invests in the Vanguard Growth ETF, which is designed to track the return on the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index.

For the period 16 May 2024 to 14 November 2024, the Fund has not received sufficient income to pay a distribution and cover forecast taxes and expenses.
